The Xen hypervisor, a powerful open source industry standard forvirtualization, offers a powerful, efficient, and secure feature set forvirtualization of x86, x86_64, IA64, ARM, and other CPU architectures. Itsupports a wide range of guest operating systems including Windows, Linux,Solaris, and various versions of the BSD operating systems.

In order to run Xen, you will need to install and boot from a Xen dom0kernel. Check README.dom0 (in docs/dom0) for more information on how to dothat.

mbootpack is an optional dependency. Since booting a Xen kernel with LILO is not supported by default we have to use GRUB; alternatively, you can usembootpack to create a LILO compatible kernel.

GRUB may be installed from Slackware's extra repository. The GRUB packageis not available from the Slackware x86_64 distribution, but the source anda SlackBuild may be found in its extra/source repository.

See README.SLACKWARE (which is also installed with the package docs) forsetup, configuration, and usage hints.
